    I don't plan to be in mud (I know, famous last words). Figure the whisker flaps will cut down on water spray.

    Likely a rear anti-splash. Use the old one for a pattern. I bought similar mudflaps that fit a newer Mack (similar dimenisons) that I am going to "make fit". I don't remember what model or part number.

    This is my truck in 2002 when it was still in Martin's fleet (8 years before I bought it). Pic was taken when I was first interested in a MH.

    Dang! I drove by there on Thursday just after I took the pic of the Superdog. I saw the Swigart museum (closed for the season). I must have been daydreaming of wimmin hitchhikers when I went by the trucks and I did not have my "Mack detector" turned on! Maybe they rusted away to nothing?

    I run the pike because it is quicker (less than 4 hours door to door - Canton to RS). Route 22 is nice now that it is four lane from Monroeville to I-99. Just wish they would eliminate the signal lights. I-80 to I-99 south adds another hour. Of course I am in a 4-wheeler so tolls are slightly less than an 18-wheeler. As for the toll increases...likely the State is taking money from the PA Pike and using it elsewhere. Used to be the pike was self sufficient. I can remember when it was 5 cents a mile.

    David - you are likely right. It looks like the cab is leaning offset to the left like a DM (or U). I couldn't get a better angle of the truck. Brent - Thx! Benkart name is on the boom in the background.

    Do you have more specifics on the location? I will put it on my list of "places to visit" (when I get motivated)
  8. farmer52
    Nice bus....someone needs to buy it and get it running.
  9. farmer52
    Me too (not the first but close) and I will continue to support BMT and Watt's (and the Mack Museum too). Barry (not the Pres) and his group are doing their best to keep these old (and new) dogs running! I just paid $80 for a dimmer switch bracket and the switch was only $6.

    What you describe sounds like a cracked or defective DPF. Per earlier post, the inside of the stack should be clean...no black soot.

    Stopped on the PA pike Saturday on my drive to OH. The construction company trucks are on the NE side at mile post 27. What I thought was a R is a DM. There are also two (2) steel nosed DM (facing the opposite direction - one is behind the other). The one to the right (in the pic) has dual exhaust stacks on the right side of the cab. Interesting set-up.

    I put my 2 cent bid in on this one but OUTBID.
  13. farmer52
    You have a long list of parts...perhaps you should buy it, take off what you need, then sell what is leftover.
  14. farmer52
    Good girl...the headlights are on. Maybe I need to "hang out" in Winfall to see all the good lookin wimmin!
  15. farmer52
    My next investment expenditure is a 28' pup van. You need to buy it.
  16. farmer52
    Yes, it is definitely from Martin's Pastry...same fleet as mine. Sanner's Towing; Downingtown, PA (googled).

    Below the line would mean it is in your profile signiture. Go to My Settings, then click on Signature.

    The housing still has some gray paint where the adapter would fit. I wonder why it was removed? I do not see any means of removing the plug (although I can't see the plug if it is an allen hex or brass). One of these days it gets warmer I will tilt the cab and get a better look at the housing. I also need to see where the line fits into the block and what was done there. I hope it is an easy addition and the housing bolts do not break off. Perhaps the upper bolts are the correct length (85mm versus the bottom 75mm). Barry suggested an aeroquip line. I have lots of 25MF435B coolant filters.

    Hey I resemble that remark!

    It is a 2013 model with a DPF. Very little if any soot should be exiting the exhaust pipe. No soot should be passing thru the DPF even druing regen. My guess is the DPF filter is cracked or defective and it is sucking in soot. Is the filter covered with soot or black from getting too hot? Let us know what the dealer finds.
  25. farmer52
    That is one hot lady that I WOULD DEFINITELY stop and warm her bones! Don't see too many classy ladies like her (specially in the "wild"). Must be those southern wimmin! At least OD took a pic for us to drool over.
